You might also consider a hybrid system. It’s not science fiction, but it’s still pretty impressive. Hybrid systems bring together two different fuel sources, such as a gas or oil furnace and an electric heat pump, for more efficient heating and cooling. A hybrid system is calibrated to automatically switch between the furnace and heat pump depending on which offers the most economical power for your heating or cooling needs at any given time. You can imagine, the cost savings can be impressive. In fact, American Standard Heating & Air Conditioning’s hybrid comfort systems can deliver up to 68 percent savings over a comparable 10-year-old system.*.
